[css-variables][I18N-ISSUE-352] normalization and matching of custom property names

Hello CSS,

I am forwarding the following issue on:

http://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables-1/


This issue is a personal comment, as the I18N WG has not had an opportunity to consider it yet.

Section 2 says in part:

<quote>
Unlike other CSS properties, custom property names are case-sensitive.

EXAMPLE. While both --foo and --FOO are valid, they are distinct properties - using var(--foo) will refer to the first one, while using var(--FOO) will refer to the second.
</quote>

Case sensitivity is not the only variation that can apply to text. While citing the case sensitivity is useful, should mention be made of other variations, such as Unicode Normalization? I believe that the actual restriction is that the text must be identical.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
